From School Library Journal
Designed for use by public and school librarians and teachers, this book provides information for planning and implementing successful book clubs. Publicity, obtaining multiple copies of books, and discussion guidelines are outlined. This type of programming is described as a process where children gather to discuss a book, and participate in related games and crafts. The joy of reading is the bottom line. Each of the 16 chapters suggests a theme and a specific title, introduces the author and/or illustrator, and is followed by discussion questions, games, crafts, suggested snacks, and other titles to share. Developing the ability to read and discuss books at this early age should prove invaluable as students progress into higher grades. This is an excellent programming idea for school/public library collaboration. Access is provided through an author/title index and a subject index.
